East Haven, CT
While walking my dog in a dark area I was gazing up at the sky while my dog did his business. When I saw a large round glowing object lower straight down from the sky and hover still for approximately 10 seconds. It then shot across the sky towards to east in an upwards ascending motion. This object was very large and very quiet. It felt like it lasted for minutes but in reality is guess the whole event was less than 30 seconds.

Eight red/orange lights moving generally south to northerly direction. 2 stacked lead and the rest separated by a good distance from one another. They moved slowly north. My family saw them as well as my neighbor.

Me and my family noticed a strange light flashing in the sky. It seemed not to be emanating from a light, and it continued at regular intervals until we drove past it. It was in the sky.

We had barbequed a turkey at my folks place southeast of Spokane, WA. Most of my family was there, including two sisters, two B-i-l’s, mom, dad (skeptic) and me. My two sons had gone home to Washington earlier in the day. Well, I like an occasional cigarette after dinner and Tim, my skeptical brother-in-law is a confirmed addict. We went out on the back porch to smoke after dinner. It was very dark, very clear, and cold. I happened to look up and saw a white circular light/object moving from west to east and very high up (seemed to be anyway.) This light was very much like one I’d seen about 10 years ago in Fall City, WA. (reported to NUFORC) but seemed higher up. If I hold my hand straight up and away, the object would have been about 1/8th of an inch or so wide. Much bigger than any star. Once again it appeared to be a weird, “confined” light. I immediately shouted “look at that” and pointed at it. Tim looked up and didn’t say anything, but he wa! s watching. He saw it. The light approached a smaller, less well-defined white light that looked like a big star. My first thought was “satellite” but the moving object seemed too big for that. Then it slowed down and seemed to merge with the smaller light, then they both changed direction to the south and poof, they disappeared. Several observations: It was much larger than any star in the sky and once again it was that weird, seemingly confined white light. Not terribly bright, but very obviously moving. If I pick a spot on the ceiling of my office, while sitting in my chair, the object would appear to have moved about 1 foot across the ceiling/starfield, if that makes sense. When we first saw it, it was moving, once again, in what seemed a purposeful way (we’ve discussed this before) from west to east. Tim saw it almost immediately after I did and we both saw it slow down and approach another light/object that was similar in color, but appeared smaller – maybe ½ the size. They came together and became a single light/object – no size change. Once they merged together, they turned but not in an immediate, 90 degree turn that is often described and seems physically impossible. This was more gradual, as though going around a corner, but a sharp corner. In the previous ceiling example, it would’ve executed the turn over just a couple of inches. Then it was moving to the south. While we were both staring at it, it just blinked out. Gone. We waited a bit, looking, but no other objects appeared to be moving. I asked him “you saw that didn’t you!” He said “yeah, I did….and it was weird.” He was obviously taken aback. Not quite shaken really, but definitely weirded out. I can’t tell you how happy I was to have someone else see it. We went back in and I told the group around table that we’d seen a UFO! We'd all had a couple of drinks and they all jeered a bit, of course, but I think that Tim’s behavior caught them off guard. They know him very, very well and know he’d be jeering too if it hadn’t been quite a sight. It was that, alright. I checked on the ISS and it was in the sky, but much later that night. I also check flightaware, etc., there were airliners up of course, but this wasn’t an airliner. Airplanes don’t slow down that way and then execute a quite sharp turn. It was almost an instantaneous 90 deg. turn, but not quite. No noise of course. Don’t know what it was, but for now at least, we know it was a UFO. I don’t know if these things are extraterrestrial or not, but I would sure like to know. I need to report to Nurforc and will do so tonight. Should’ve called Peter D. before now, but was very busy and oddly, I didn’t t! hink to do it immediately, nor did either of us think of trying to pull out a phone. It was one of those things where we were both sort of stunned by what we were seeing. I’ll give it more thought and file a report with Nuforc and Mufon tonight.

Titusville, FL
Driving on 95 South at night, the driver noticed a group of orange lights in the formation of the Big Dipper. There were about 10-12 lights and they were bigger than stars, but not huge. The driver pointed out the lights to the 2 passengers. The lights then changed formation to a crooked vertical line with 3 of them making a triangle close to the top of the line. After a minute or so they changed formation again into a straight vertical line. After another minute or so they completely disappeared.

Lodi, OH
Last night, December 30th, 2018, around 7:15pm (19:00), I walked outside and was amazed by the clear viewing sky above over Ohio. The stars were bright and very few clouds, it was beautiful. So I stood there watching for a short while and then saw something that caught my eye. Just North of Orion's Belt was an object that seemed to be moving erratically and possibly with color. Red, Blue and maybe a yellow. It would circle then move one way and another and then sit still for a while or move to a different spot (not far from the first). Then start all over again in this same pattern. I ran in the house and had my husband come out, he wasn't impressed but did see it and said "probably some guy with a drone or something" and he went back inside. I watched it for some time and then went in the house to "google" it and there are many sightings of this type. Some mentioned seeing more than one at a time. I went back out and searched the sky and sure enough saw another one. This one was further to the North but then moved East.

They were orange, they made no sound. They came from the northwest and traveled to the southeast direction. They appeared one at a time and seemed to come from a low altitude and as they traveled they seemed to go higher then disappear.

I was driving home when I noticed in the sky there was a big bright shaped sphere of light in the middle of the dark sky. It was 11:00 at night so it was very dark every where else but in this one area in the sky.

Sanger, TX
2 of my friends and I were out at lake Ray Roberts in Sanger taking pictures of star trails late at night. The sky was cloudy and pretty dark, but a few minutes later, we looked over the Ray Roberts dam and saw a giant object in the sky. The object in question had a fiery hue and changed form a few times. It would get bigger and brighter and then it would shrink down to nothing and reappear. It rotated around while it was in view and had around 3 other objects of the same fiery hue fly up to it. After the 3 smaller objects flew up towards it, it vanished. While we were observing it we attempted to capture images of it. I was unsuccessful as my images were blurry but my 2 other friends managed to capture photo and video of it.

I was jogging at a local park after dark and saw two objects moving slowing towards each other. I thought they were planes but it was odd. They made no sound. Both objects got closer and appeared to mere then a blue flash to the ground and there was nothing there. The flash seemed to hit something over a mountain because there was a flash. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, I saw the objects about 15 minutes but what’s weird is that after the flash is stopped and the next thing I know is that my watch timer went off indicating 40 minutes lapsed @ 8 minute mile. I only went 3 miles so I don’t think the objects for 25 minutes stationary? There were other people that had have seen what I saw as well. I thought the objects collided in mid air but there’s nothing on the news about a mid air collision. ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))

I wanted to show someone, so I quickly ran up to my third floor apt. I looked out the stairwell window and they were still there, but when I brought another witness they were gone from sight.

While taking pics of the Moon, I saw a bright oval-ish shape moving sparatically from ground level to horizon level in front of my sightline of the Moon. It moved very quickly, could NOT have been a conventional aircraft.
